Moretti, the nation's ninth-ranked offensive tackle is a 6-foot-5, 285-pounder that visited Columbus for the first time just about three weeks ago. Apparently, that visit to Ohio State was enough for Moretti and his family to know the Buckeyes' program was the right fit for them.
The Colorado-native chose Ohio State over offers from Oregon, Notre Dame, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska and close to a dozen others.
Eleven Warriors will have more on this commitment soon, so stay with us.
